Call a Function as a different User

Former Member — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:33:56 GMT

Hi everyone,

is there a way to call a function as a different user in a programm? i have to call a function which a normal Sap user is not allowed to call but i have to use this function in my program. So is there a way to call this very function as a different user as the user who is using my program?

i thought to make a background job which calls another abap report as CENTRALADMIN who is able to call this specific function.

but maybe there is another way to reach this without making a background job for this.

THX in advance!

Yes, you can set up an RFC destination to the local system using a different user id/password. Then callt his function in your program using the DESTINATION extension.

Call Function 'Z_THIS_FUNCTION' DESTINATION 'your_RFC_Destination'.

Thanks a lot for your information. but could you be a little bit more precise about that 'your_RFC_Destination' please?

how exactly can i define the user who should call the function?
